Can you see the center sill of a box car when it is on your track? I've seen a lot of layouts, and I'm safe saying that on 95% of the layouts, it cannot be seen by an adult standing at trackside. There is such a thing as the logical implication of a statement. If for example, I say that I am flying to Cocoa Beach, you probably would conclude that I am traveling on an airplane and have not grown a pair of wings. You draw such an inference without a second thought. Why do you suddenly develop an inability to make an inference about the phrase "invisible when the car is on the track"? Tim O'Connor
